    Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 2 - The Charlie Gehringer version

    20 in August!

    Though not the greatest outing ever. Dang but the Twins liked fouling pitches off.

      Not to look too far ahead, but the Tigers (73-59) are only 1 game behind the Rangers (75-59) right now in the race for the second seed in the AL and home field in the first round of the playoffs. I'm not hearing much about this race, but Verlander pitching at home in games 1 and 5 would give the Tigers a much better shot at winning the ALDS. If the Tigers and Rangers end up tied, the Tigers win the tiebreaker.

        Eh, Verlander is bound to have the occasional game where he's just merely human. I think it would help his confidence more to have a bad game like that for him to get to the 20 win mark than to pitch another gem where most of the time the infield guys are just siting around scratching themselves and watching to see how long a No-No goes.

          Maybe Inge should have taken a check-swing 3rd strike. Thank God we had it tied before he came up.

            Oy. Remember this time last year when we thought resigning Maggs for another year was critical for the team this year?

              Oh yes. Let's hope that DD doesn't go all Inge on us in resigning him.

                Keep in mind, Magglio was hitting about .312 when his leg went snap last summer. And once he went down, the rest of the AL stopped pitching to Cabrera. Boesch had gone cold as ice, and no one expected this out of either Peralta or Avila. For about the 1,000th time, we were not in a position to let bats walk out the door, especially those that had been productive as recently as last July.

                As for Inge, he's signed through 2012, and I suspect that will be the end of his career.

                  I'm not saying they shouldn't have signed him. I was in favor of it too. Just that he doesn't even resemble that player anymore.

                  The playoffs commercial they're showing of his '06 home run is pretty awesome though. Still gives me chills.

                    Oh, he's done. We were just in a position where we couldn't risk him not being done. We are certainly NOT in that position with Inge, or Guillen, for that matter, going into this off-season.

                      Hit into 4 double plays, and Penny's on the mound. Bad combination.

                      Wow. No more trading for relief pitchers. Pauley sucks as much as Purcey did.

                        5-0 Royals, mid 3. I don't even feel like watching this right now, anyway.

                          Giovatella (sp?) is going to take Thome's role in the division as a Tiger killer when the latter retires.

                          Hitting .244 for the season, but 7-13 vs. the Tigers.

                            That was not a strike. That wouldn't have been a strike if a midget was in the batter's box.

                              Hi.

                              We're through 6 already. Both pitchers have faced the minimum.

                              Hi there.
